Vairë (Quenya; IPA: [ˈvaɪre] or [ˈwaɪre] - "Weaver") was an Ainu and Vala responsible for the weaving of the story of Arda.[1]

Biography

Vairë was counted among the Valier, the Queens of the Valar, though she was not as great in power or prestige as some. Her "storied webs" covered the Halls of Mandos, where she apparently lived with Mandos, her husband.[1]

With the passage of time and its many Ages, her woven tapestries expanded and clothed all the walls of the Halls of the Dead.[1]

After the death of Finwë, Míriel returned to life and dwelt in the house of Vairë. She was given the task to record the deeds of the House of Finwë.[2]

Etymology

In Quenya, Vairë means "Weaver", and was derived from the Primitive Quendian weirē, which derives from the root wey ("weave, wind"). Her Ñoldorin name is Gwîr, from gwi ("net, web").[3]
